We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stour Row (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Stour Row - Stour Row Fuel Removal

I had a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple away in Stour Row. They had broken down after adding diesel in their MG, and were around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this happens quite frequently in Dorset and that it is nothing to stress about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved farewell and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
